What to serve for a large party..

We are having a fairly large party at our house for my daughter's baptism.  We are strictly gluten-free here and want to keep it that way for the party too.  I'm in need of ideas of what to serve.  So far I have chips & dips, veggies, fruit, gluten-free crackers & cheese.  I'd like to have some sort of cake or cupcakes, but don't know what is good since we haven't done much cake yet.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!  Thank you!

Brownies or flourless chocolate cakes always come out yummy.  You can dress them up a bit by making them in a round pan, covering in ganache, then add a raspberry or piece of  strawberry.    Or do a chocolate " fountain" or chocolate fondue ( I just buy a good fudge sauce , like Mrs. Richardson  and keep it warm in a fondue pot).  Put a spoon with the pot for less dipping and more " covering of things like, fruit ( strawberries, pineapple, etc), marshmallows, pB cookies, etc.

 

Bite sized desserts served in little paper mini muffin cups are fun for a party.  Because most people will not be sitting down to eat, it's nice to have desserts that do not require utensils.  I will make brownies and cut them up small and ice or choc ganache them, small cookies, chocolate truffles of different flavors, choc covered strawberries, orange truffles, etc.

For parties, I usually use the Betty Crocker gluten free mixes since they're quick and easy.  They have a lot of good recipes on their site too. I love the vanilla cupcakes with caramel sea salt icing.

My local grocery store also sells Krusteaz gluten free mixes for cake and brownies :-)

The Pillsbury Funfetti type gluten-free cake mix is excellent!  No one notices it isn't regular when I put my special buttercreme frosting on it.  Making them into cupcakes would make them more portable.  Are you serving a whole meal, or just cocktail type foods?  There is something called Cowboy Caviar that is really good with beans, corn, onion, and a vinegar type dressing over it.  It would be served w/ tortilla chips or crackers.  It's substantial with the protein from the beans.  I usually like to make potato salad for a crowd.  It's always gluten-free when the right mayo is used.  Cocktail meatballs would be nice.  Just use gluten-free bread crumbs for the binder.  I've seen cute cucumber hors d'oeuvres and stuffed mushrooms/cherry tomatoes too.  Check out Pinterest or google Gluten Free cocktail party for other ideas!

Good Luck!

      Thanks rmj when I first rang up it was we can't do it without , but I talked to a lovely lady and she sorted it all out for me, so it pays to be persistent , I would have had to decline if I hadn't been given the water option too , so yes I'm glad too 😌

      I’m so glad they listened to your concerns!  I hope you get some answers from the MRI.

      Had my MRI today I didn't have to have the manitol with my allergy's , I just had a litre of water , they were great with my concerns , so let's see if anything comes of if will keep posted once I have results 👍

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.
